It reminds me of the graffiti in dark souls, but those were only interesting because they were referring to a shared experience. If there were more interesting things to find, even just clothes to decorate your avatar with, it would be a lot more engaging."},{"author_name":"Otopkin","author_uid":"41289","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 1:24pm","epoch":1409231940,"text":"Now that was a big world.
